[09:41] <lamothe> Hi, I am the maintainer of me-tv in Debian but my sponsor hasn't responded in a week. The version of Me TV in sid/maverick currently has some significant issues and I would like to update it to a known stable version.  Is the revu process the correct one to use?
[11:31] <ari-tczew> can I run testbuild by pbuilder for 64bit architecture on maverick 386?
[11:32] <ari-tczew> fabrice_sp: ping
[11:35] <geser> ari-tczew: no, as you can't run 64bit apps (even in pbuilder or any chroot) with a 32bit kernel
[11:37] <ari-tczew> fabrice_sp: do you test build on bug 598684 on 64bit? on my 386 built fine. going to attach a buildlog
[11:48] <VK7HSE> Hi I've been requested to upload me-tv-1.2.6 to REVU as the Debian maintainer has been too busy to update this package within Debian it's self. This version addresses some critical issues that are in the current version that has been synced from Debian. Please see Bug #598782 for details ...
[11:55] <dupondje> ari-tczew: tried to build it, it fails
[11:56] <ari-tczew> dupondje: could you attach a buildlog on pastebin ubuntu?
[11:59] <VK7HSE> Hmm... getting this error when attempting to login to REVU ...  http://pastebin.com/Amr74ZTP  any ideas ?
[12:02] <dupondje> ari-tczew: http://paste.ubuntu.com/455414/
[12:02] <ari-tczew> dupondje: full buildlog!
[12:05] <aretrfre34> how to cross compile, normal auto package
[12:06] <BlackZ> aretrfre34: the best way would be forward it to debian
[12:06] <aretrfre34> ok, how do i do it?
[12:06] <BlackZ> if the maintainer can't, just do a Non-maintainer upload on mentors.debian.net -- I think somebody will review your package, or ask the maintainer directly
[12:07] <BlackZ> aretrfre34: http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/welcome
[12:08] <BlackZ> also, the sponsorship for packages on REVU is a separate process, marking the bug as "Invalid"
[12:09] <BlackZ> or if you want to "keep" the bug I think unsubscribing the MOTU and the REVU team would be the solution
[12:10] <BlackZ> and you should file the bug under the me-tv package in ubuntu, not upstream
[12:11] <aretrfre34> thanks, for info BlackZ
[12:16] <aretrfre34> BlackZ: is it right if add this to my sources list deb http://www.packages.debian.org lenny
[12:17] <aretrfre34> i mean which debian packages repository to add, stable one
[12:17] <BlackZ> aretrfre34: no, the right one is deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free -- but why do you want to add it?
[12:19] <aretrfre34> I'm going to add to my nokia
[12:33] <aretrfre34> BlackZ: couldn't update nokia, they changed wifi pass
[12:34] <ari-tczew> dupondje: still waiting
[12:35] <dupondje> sudo pbuilder --build libdecodeqr_0.9.3-3.dsc --logfile buildlog.txt
[12:35] <dupondje> but no buidllog :(
[12:35] <geser> dupondje: sudo pbuilder build --logfile buildlog.txt libdecodeqr_0.9.3-3.dsc
[12:36] <dupondje> bleh ok :)
[12:36] <geser> the options are to be placed between (--)build and the .dsc file
[12:38] <ari-tczew> dupondje: lucid/maverick?
[12:38] <dupondje> maverick
[12:50] <ari-tczew> dupondje: and?
[12:52] <dupondje> http://ubuntu.dupondje.be/buildlog.txt
[12:56] <ari-tczew> dupondje: 64bit?
[12:56] <dupondje> y
[12:57] <ari-tczew> dupondje: could you graciously answer in normal type and highlight me in future?
[12:58] <geser> dupondje: grab the config.log from within the pbuilder and check what exactly makes that check fail
[13:01] <ari-tczew> dupondje: could you also check build current existing package?
[13:07] <dupondje> ari-tczew: the current fails with same error
[13:11] <ari-tczew> dupondje: strange, launchpad built package fine. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdecodeqr/0.9.3-2ubuntu1
[13:14] <dupondje> ari-tczew: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/opencv => check last changelog :) Change install path of python-opencv. (Closes: #565121)
[13:14] <dupondje> the official build: Unpacking libcv4 (from .../libcv4_2.0.0-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
[13:14] <dupondje> just doesn't build with current version of opencv
[13:20] <ari-tczew> hm, we can upload a patch to fix it on opencv, or don't sync libdecodegr and don't touch opencv
[13:36] <dupondje> ari-tczew: or patch libdecodegr ?
[13:39] <ari-tczew> dupondje: don't have an idea for patch libdecodegr. 386 built fine.
[13:40] <ari-tczew> can I find a changes in Debian e.g. between -3 and -4 revision?
[13:49] <dupondje> mmmm
[13:49] <dupondje> ari-tczew: apt-file show libhighgui-dev
[13:49] <dupondje> can you do it ?
[13:50] <ari-tczew> dupondje: and?
[13:50] <dupondje> gimme output :)
[13:53] <ari-tczew> dupondje: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/4iSNvwxL
[13:53] <dupondje> ari-tczew: please install it and run it :) should give the files in the package then
[13:57] <ari-tczew> dupondje: yea and what's next?
[14:00] <dupondje> what files you see ?
[14:02] <ari-tczew> dupondje: please don't waste our time. say directly what you're going to
[14:02] <dupondje> I don't have the la file
[14:03] <dupondje> /usr/lib/libhighgui.la
[14:04] <dupondje> ari-tczew: and I bet its in the 32bit one ...
[14:13] <ari-tczew> dupondje: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/8DEW1dMW
[14:14] <dupondje> thats weird, and you can build it without issues ? :s
[14:14] <franko> Hi all
[14:14] <ari-tczew> dupondje: yea, 386 fine
[14:15] <ari-tczew> hi franko
[14:15] <franko> I've a small question for the smart guys here...
[14:16] <ari-tczew> franko: just ask
[14:16] <franko> I'm author of a software and I was looking the HowTo page to create an ubuntu package...
[14:17] <franko> I can't understand how it can be so complicated to create an ubuntu package!!!
[14:17] <franko> I wondering if I'm not going to give up, it seems that you need to invest a lot of time.
[14:18] <franko> I'm actually able to create debian packages but with ubuntu seems so much more complicated...
[14:19] <franko> ... but my question is: I need to adopt autoconf in my project to build a proper Ubuntu package ?
[14:22] <franko> nobody knows about autoconf ?
[14:23] <dutchie> franko: no, you don't need autoconf, just a way to build your project. Hand-crafted Makefiles are fine, if that's all you need
[14:24] <franko> dutchie: I was reading about CDBS and it seems that you need autoconf...
[14:24] <dutchie> i think CDBS is deprecated in favour of debhelper 7
[14:25] <ari-tczew> some packages has got 99_autoconf.patch
[14:26] <ari-tczew> dupondje: please see debian/rules in package libdecodeqr at line 30
[14:26] <franko> there isn't any simple up-to-date howto page to build ubuntu packages ?
[14:26] <dutchie> franko: i think you're better off doing a package in debian and allowing it to filter down from there
[14:27] <dupondje> ari-tczew: thats the OpenCV version it needs or ?
[14:27] <ari-tczew> dupondje: I think so
[14:28] <ari-tczew> dupondje: debian/rules require 2.0.5, but in repository 2.0.0 exist
[14:28] <ari-tczew> dupondje: did you check what geser want to show?
[14:28] <ari-tczew> s/show/see
[14:28] <franko> dutchie: I see... the problem is that I was dreaming of a proper beautiful ubuntu package for my project :-)
[14:28] <dupondje> need to find out how to pull out the config, but first I gtg and do some work
[14:29] <dutchie> franko: a proper beautiful Debian package is better than just an ubuntu package
[14:29] <dutchie> franko: it will end up in lots more distros without any extra work
[14:32] <franko> dutchie: I see... I guess you're correct
[14:42] <coolbhavi> hi which is the server used in reportbug.conf to report bugs to debian?
[14:43] <coolbhavi> via submittodebian?
[14:50] <franko> one last question: is there any chance that someone adopt my project to make an ubuntu package ?
[14:54] <dutchie> franko: try submitting a needs-packaging bug in launchpad or one agaist wnpp on bugs.debian.org
[15:12] <coolbhavi> reportbug.debian.org temporarily greylisted any other servers to be used? please help
[15:13] <ari-tczew> coolbhavi: what's the problem? do you want to send bug to Debian?
[15:13] <coolbhavi> yep ari-tczew
[15:14] <ari-tczew> coolbhavi: I use a mail to create a bug
[15:15] <ari-tczew> coolbhavi: submit@bugs.debian.org
[15:16] <coolbhavi> yep ari-tczew but i want to know if there are any alternative servers
[15:33] <shadeslayer> oh wow... http://pastebin.com/9JNsqVcN
[15:34] <shadeslayer> can someone have a look at that issue? (package is in main)
[15:36] <jpds> You might get better speeds from a US mirror, like mirror.anl.gov.
[15:40] <shadeslayer> jpds: oh its not that i didnt have a good download speed... i was downloading something else too
[15:41] <jpds> Just a suggestion.
[15:41]  * jpds doesn't really understand why people use the master archive machines.
[15:41] <shadeslayer> jpds: :)
[15:42] <shadeslayer> jpds: im in india..so the US archives are too far.. also notice which version im using
[15:42] <jpds> Oh, in.archive is based in India.
[15:42] <shadeslayer> the indian servers lag behind by about a day to sometimes a week
[15:43] <shadeslayer> and then sometimes the MD5sum is  bad
[15:43] <jpds> Lovely... :(
[16:33] <ari-tczew> lool: ping
[16:44]  * tumbleweed wants a second opinion: Is it ok to merge xsane-doc back into xsane-common now that it's in Universe? I assume the split was made for CD-space reasons
[16:45] <Laney> does -doc depends on -common? and is that what Debian has?
[16:47] <tumbleweed> -doc doesn't have any relations to other packages, but it does put it's files in /usr/share/xsane-common/html/
[16:47] <tumbleweed> yes, debian only has -common, we made the split to -common (locales) + -doc (HTML docs) in gutsy
[16:47] <Laney> you need to make the upgrade path work out
[16:48] <tumbleweed> yes :)
[16:49] <highvoltage> hey tumbleweed nice to see you here :)
[16:49] <tumbleweed> BlackZ: Laney seems to agree: ^
[16:49] <tumbleweed> highvoltage: ugh, it's a time-sink of note
[16:50] <Laney> alternatively you could see if Debian will take the split
[16:52] <tumbleweed> Laney: yeah, maybe that's the best thing, forward it and ask them what tehy want to do
[16:53] <Laney> check the existing bugs and see if someone already did it
[16:54] <tumbleweed> whoops *slap*
[16:54] <Laney> ;)
[16:54] <highvoltage> heh
[17:33] <ari-tczew> syncpackage script oficially released in ubuntu-dev-tools \o/
[17:39] <siretart> yay
[18:00] <ScottK> FYI, the latest rebuild test is post DIF, so that's all ours to fix.
[18:00] <ScottK> lucas: Thanks for the rebuild test.
[18:07] <lool> ari-tczew: pong
[18:10] <ari-tczew> lool: did you see an e-mail from libsmbios maintainer?
[18:28] <ari-tczew> Laney: have time for sponsoring?
[19:04] <lool> ari-tczew: I'm still walking through my email slowly -- came back from a week of leave
[19:04] <lool> ari-tczew: If everything is in email, I should get back to you / the author RSN
[19:04] <ari-tczew> lool: what is RSN?
[19:05] <dutchie> ari-tczew: Real Soon Now
[19:05] <ari-tczew> ah, thanks dutchie
[19:05] <lool> (yep - thanks)
[19:06] <ari-tczew> lool: so in this place I can say you, that maintainer of libsmbios gives you a free hand to fix package (new upstream take from Ubuntu as well)
[19:09] <shadeslayer> anyone know what the channel for cleansweep is?
[19:13] <Laney> ari-tczew: if it's so urgent that it can't go through the queue, sure
[19:14] <lool> ari-tczew: Read the email now
[19:15] <ari-tczew> Laney: this is no urgent question, just want to see sponsorship by you :>
[19:16] <ari-tczew> lool: Inbox is clean. :>
[19:20] <lool> ari-tczew: Not sure what you mean; inbox is far from being clean here still  :-)
[19:20] <lool> ari-tczew: So I'm happy to discuss specifics for the future of libsmbios
[19:21] <lool> ari-tczew: Do you have some plan already, or would you like me to offer one?
[19:21] <lool> I have no strong personal interest in libsmbios; I picked up uploads in Debian at some point because there were some serious issues to address and the maintainer was looking for sponsorship (the package was needed for important hardware, but none of mine)
[19:25] <ari-tczew> lool: my plan is following: I've packed new upstream release and package is waiting for sponsorship
[19:25] <ari-tczew> Laney: note: I asked you for sponsorship just _for me_, not in general
[19:25] <lool> ari-tczew: Do you want to host it under some Vcs?
[19:26] <lool> ari-tczew: I would personally suggest that if you do, you put it under collab-maint in some way
[19:26] <ari-tczew> lool: at this moment not planned. never uploaded to Vcs
[19:26] <lool> ari-tczew: That's ok; the advantage of the Vcs is to keep fine-grained history of smaller changes than full uploads; notably packaging changes
[19:27] <lool> ari-tczew: Do you want me to sponsor it?
[19:32] <ari-tczew> lool: it would be nice, because you are a co-maintainer for libsmbios, glad if you'll sponsor my patch propose
[19:33] <ari-tczew> lool: and about Inbox: I use Evolution and Inbox is field for incoming messages
[19:40] <lool> ari-tczew: Ok; I'll write a review of the debdiff over email
[19:41] <ari-tczew> lool: it's in bzr branch
[19:43] <lool> ari-tczew: Sorry, which one?
[19:45] <ari-tczew> lool: https://code.launchpad.net/~ari-tczew/ubuntu/maverick/libsmbios/lp-591017/+merge/26992
[19:45] <lool> Ok
[20:23] <ari-tczew> bdrung: any ideas for fix bug 598684 ?
[20:27] <bdrung> fabrice_sp: ^ do you tried to build it on i386 or amd64?
[20:28] <bdrung> ari-tczew: can you update maverick and build it again?
[20:33] <ari-tczew> bdrung: dpkg-genchanges  >../libdecodeqr_0.9.3-3_i386.changes
[20:33] <ari-tczew> built fine
[20:34] <ari-tczew> bdrung: have you tried use sbuild?
[20:34] <bdrung> ari-tczew: i used pbuilder
[20:35] <ari-tczew> bdrung: did you use sbuild ever?
[20:35] <ari-tczew> I ask because it's possible that sbuild will build fine
[20:36] <bdrung> ari-tczew: really?
[20:36] <ari-tczew> bdrung: really
[20:36] <bdrung> fabrice_sp: ^ did you use pbuilder or sbuild?
[20:36] <ari-tczew> I can dig a discuss with kees, mdeslaur and ScottK
[20:37] <ari-tczew> log of discuss of course

[20:48] <ScottK> a|wen: Thanks for taking care of boost1.40.
[20:51] <a|wen> ScottK: no problem ... i've been fixing up boost before, so why not do the merge as well
